When visiting Vancouver and staying at the Holiday Inn there is so many things to do and one of them is a visit to Cyprus Mountain no matter what time of year. In the warm weather there is walking the trails and hiking and in the winter, sledding, snowboarding and skiing. There is a timber-framed restaurant to dine after a day on the slops, along with a pub to warm the body after a day of fun in the snow.
This is where the family or the businessperson can go year round for fun; the slopes are rated by experience and cross-country skiing. This is one of the most popular places for the skier and it is also where the Official Freestyle Skiing and Snowboard Events for the 2010 Winter Olympic games will be held.
There are ski runs like the Gladed Run that takes the skier through the forest and ends with a picturesque view of Vancouver. Other slopes like the Lower Mainland and Mount Baker, Benny’s, Black Fly, Metero, Coyote7, and there are also trails for snow-shoeing. Snowshoeing is the perfect way to see all the beauty that Cyprus Mountain has to offer the visitor to Vancouver. There are also single and multi day lessons available at Cyprus Mountain and equipment rentals. It is possible at Cyprus Mountain to rent skis, snowboard sets, helmets, jackets and pants for the visitor that has flown to Vancouver making it difficult to bring their own equipment or the visitor new to snow sports.
When it is time to take a break from the snow or time to relax there is the Crazy Raven Bar and Grill at the base of Cyprus Mountain. There is also Seymour’s Pub located at the Holiday Inn North Vancouver, here not only is it relaxing but one of the hottest night spots in Vancouver. The pub has a solarium, heated patio, a fireplace and a menu to please all of their visitors. Seymour’s Pub also has a pool table, 60 inch satellite TV, live entertainment in the evenings with dancing in an informal atmosphere.
There is no better way of getting rid of aches and pains from the outdoor snow fun is the Paradise Spa and Wellness Center, with massage therapy and complete pampering that will bring total relaxation to any visitor at the Holiday Inn North Vancouver. Along with massage therapy a manicure or pedicure can help keep the nails and skin protected from the cold winter weather.
